Look in the \removable directory

Oddly enough it is still showing nothing at all.

I have this issue as well. I inserted a 16 GB micro SD card into the transformer and it was not recognized. I think that the solution is to format the card on another android device or your computer and then put it into the transformer and see if it is recognized. I haven't tried this myself but that's because I don't have time to copy 16gb worth of data to my computer then transfere it all back later after I formatted it. In the end, some cards are recognized and others are not. I also recommend trying to remove it and reinserted a couple of times in the transformer to see if it will recognize it.

This is not a good idea if your card is full up

Quick question

Im waiting on my 32gig micro SD but can I still flash Nvflash and a rom without a SD card ?

Currently cwm recovery requires that you have an sd card to flash a rom. It won't read the internal memory. You can flash the recovery with NVflash without an sd no problem though.

Yes you can, they updated so recovery now reads from internal memory.
Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054492 just make sure you flash the right recovery for internal storage.

Games on external sdcard

Is it possible to have games I installed in my phone be on my external sd card as in the one that is removable because I see no point in having an sd card that I can't really save anything to

You can edit the /system/etc/vold.fstab file to swap the mount points of the internal and external/removable sdcards. So after you edit it, the mount point of the external/removable card would be /mnt/sdcard and the internal/non-removable card would be /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD. I can't figure out a way to change the mount point of the internal card to anything other than that but at least it makes your removable card your primary one which is what you want.

How to format sd card

How do you format the sd card on here. On my phone it's in setting under storage but on the tablet I don't see it.
I used my computer to format a SanDisk 64 GB card but it reads it as 29gb only. I'm not sure what format it was I missed used the default it gave.

Hmmm...
Good question!
I wonder if you un-mount the card\remove it\wipe it with win disk management\reinsert\mount...if the tab will write it's file system to the card.
I checked my Samsung card and it's fat32.
I've never formatted it from windows.
I bought the card inserted it in the tablet and have been using ever since.
I'm curious about this too!
Anyone...anyone...

Fat32format tool will break the windows limits, just google for it and it will format any size.

I'll try these ideas thanks. But how can I format the card while it's in the tablet.

You can't format it directly from your tf700, it doesn't have the format function, but you could with your phone (the one that support external sd card).

For people that are trying to reformat their Sandisk Ultra Microxdsc 64gb uhs-1 card from exFat to FAT32, check this site:http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm. it did it in about 10 sec. Now when I boot to TWRP it sees the external card. Enjoy:good:

If your tablet is rooted and you have busybox installed, you can use mkdosfs from a terminal app or adb.

Old thread I know but maybe people searching will come across this solution ...
Assuming you have CWM (or possibly TWRP but I haven't checked) you can boot recovery, choose mounts & storage, format sdcard1 then choose your preferred filesystem.

The Tab 7.7 threads have a lot of discussion about using and success with SD cards. If your card is a SanDisk many if the early 64gb cards were defective. After you search the threads you might get help by providing card size and how the card is formatted.
